  ****************************************************************
  The OS/VS RPG II compiler does erroneously unconditionally
  CLOSE data sets SYSU1 and SYSUT2 without WAIT/CHECK although
  WRITE I/O might still be outstanding. Due to changes in
  z/OS 2.2 to BDAM OPEN/CLOSE this may cause the compiler to
  abend due to a protection exception in z/OS BDAM.
  

Problem conclusion

• Do CHECK after WRITE before CLOSE of BDAM data sets.
